This project was created to trace the Reynolds "family" from its earliest roots to those who came to settle in what is now New England and Virginia. It is important to recognize now that through recent advances in Y-chromosome DNA testing The Reynolds Family Association is currently tracing more than 50 distinct Reynolds lines in America who share no ancient paternal-line ancestor at least going back into the Middle Ages and in most cases for thousands of years.

Use place names such as England and South Carolina and spell out the country name with historical accuracy.
